Preclinical research,
and the bee venom behind it.
We're a small Belgian CRO. We design and run in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies for academic groups and small biotechs — and we supply high-quality bee venom to research institutes investigating its therapeutic potential.
From a single cell up to a whole organism.
Most CROs make you pick a service category and stay there. We don't. A project can start at the bench with a cell-based screen and end with an animal study — or stop anywhere in between, depending on what the science tells us.

Bee venom is a remarkable mixture — melittin, phospholipase A2, apamin, mast cell degranulating peptide, and dozens of smaller components — and a growing number of labs are studying it for oncology, neurodegeneration, immunology, and pain.
We've spent years getting the harvest, purification, and characterisation right. What we ship is a clean, lyophilised, lot-traceable powder you can actually plan an experiment around.
- Non-lethal collection from monitored Armenian apiaries
- Standardised lyophilised powder, lot numbers on every vial
- Certificate of analysis with each shipment
- We talk to you before you order — no online checkout
Groups that use ArpiVita bee venom in their experiments cite us in their methods sections. We keep a running list of those papers here — partly because we're proud of them, partly because it's useful for anyone considering working with us to see what's actually been done.
The archive includes oncology, neuroscience, immunology, dermatology, and pain research. We update it as new papers come out.
